"The rest of the story. When the 19th century was young, and Henry was only eight, the French invaded Germany. The boy's father and three older brothers joined the German army to defend their homeland. The rest of the family remained in Wolfshagen. And yet, there and then, the battlefront and the home front often blurred. For after the men of the house had left to engage the French in some distant battle, the enemy overran and occupied Henry's hometown. He and his mother and young brothers and sisters had to flee into the mountains. Through that terrible cold winter, the civilian family slowly perished, some from exposure, others from starvation. By spring, the only one left was little Henry. Not long after the little boy wandered down from the Frigid mountains, his father and three remaining brothers, home from soldiering, found him. And when the war was over, Henry's father returned to his former employment as a forester in the lush woodlands of the Duke of Brunswick. And all four brothers worked at their father's side. And the father never stopped reminding Henry that his survival through that harsh winter in the mountains was very much a miracle, that his youngest son had been spared for some purpose, though he knew not what. 

This is the rest of the story. Now the year was 1812. Henry is 15. His three older brothers are  laboring in the countryside with their father. And 1 minute the sky was blue, and the next, there was a terrific clap of thunder. The foresters looked up to see black storm clouds looming on the horizon rolling in fast. The father and four brothers and two other workers took refuge in a nearby shelter. And suddenly, the rain's coming down in an opaque wall of water and then, a flash of light, and later, after the storm had passed, woodsmen discovered the smoldering rubble. The shelter had been incinerated by the lightning bolt, and the bodies of the foresters who had huddled there lay lifeless in the ashes. The woodsmen counted seven, all of them dead, or so they thought. But one, one of them only stunned, had survived. And yes, that one was 15 year old Henry.

Henry is now is utterly orphaned and utterly penniless. He would have to make his own way in the world. But no matter how hard the hard times got, he remembered what his father had told him, that his life had been spared for a purpose. And after all that had happened, who could deny it? 

For indeed, the boy one day became a man. And the man one day became a maker of musical instruments, one whose name is revered even unto this day. 

You see the essence of Henry's monumental accomplishments in life is the destiny attached to them. For once upon a time, there was a child who lost his entire family, twice! And who was himself rescued from almost certain death twice! And who battled the odds to break new ground to set a new standard as creator of the world's finest pianos. You would recognize Henry only by his last name Steinway, the young forester who eventually taught the trees to sing. 

Now you know the rest of the story."

Jessta James may not be from the South, but the Montana native surely knows what country is. “Out here it’s about the cowboy way, ranching and rodeos,” country’s innovative new up and comer says.

With the release of his album, Time To Get Right, the rest of America will soon know how Jessta’s unique blend of country and rock honors his country roots while advancing the genre to places just recently discovered.

“I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember,” Jessta, whose name is a play on the word “jester” aka an entertainer, admits. “Some of my earliest influences were from my parents. My dad listened to a lot of outlaw country—Willie, Waylon, Hank Jr. and Johnny Cash— when I was growing up, as well as classic country, rock and Southern rock.”

A late bloomer artistically, Jessta didn’t write his first song until he was 24 years old, but the bug quickly bit him and he was hooked. “I wrote probably 150 songs over a year and a half,” the former construction worker says. “If I had an idea while I was at work, I’d write it on a two by four or a piece of cardboard I’d ripped from a box of nails.”

While still working his day job, Jessta began performing around Montana, doing both his own shows and opening for national acts, all the while building a devoted following.

With the support of his then-girlfriend and now wife, Chandra, Jessta headed to the West Coast hoping to hone and find a home for his music. While he connected with both fans and the industry, Jessta didn’t believe his vision was being fulfilled.

There were other forces at work as well.

After a brief foray into the California music scene Jessta found his country connection in Atlanta-based songwriter and producer Dan Hannon. The two men immediately hit it off and the collaboration began. Together they wrote the song “If That Ain’t Country” and demoed it. “As soon as I heard it I said, ‘That’s the sound I’ve been looking for,’” Jessta recalls. “I found that sweet spot and it just clicked.”

Even though Jessta is country through and through, it wasn’t until he discovered artists such as Eric Church, Big & Rich and Brantley Gilbert, among others, that he realized his unique blend of country rock infused with hip hop, wild west and classic rock could find mainstream success. After all, today’s iPod generation of country fans are just as comfortable listening to Jason Aldean as Ludacris and Lynyrd Skynyrd. “They’ve paved the way for my music,” says Jessta. The realization further validated the work he was doing with Dan.

The pair continued writing songs and then took what they had to Nashville to record with Music City’s top musicians, including some that had played with Jessta’s heroes Hank Williams Jr. and Garth Brooks, among others.

The result is a collection of music that embodies Jessta’s genre-bending blend of country and rock with his Wild West upbringing.

The best country music comes from the heart and Jessta’s music is no different. The album’s title cut, “Time To Get Right,” was born out of the loss of his older brother, Matt, to a prescription drug addiction in 2006. “We were best friends,” says Jessta. “We were only 20 months apart.”

Jessta hopes the song will help others deal with the issue of addiction. “This song gives me the opportunity to tell Matt all the things I didn’t get to tell him,” Jessta says. “It’s a really powerful song for me, but I’ve found that when people hear the song they relate to it. Everybody at some level has dealt with addiction, whether it’s a family member or a friend or an acquaintance.”

Front and center in Jessta’s life is his Christianity, which is evident on his album. There are many references to his spirituality—both overt and subtle. “I always want my music to make an impact and share a message,” Jessta says. “I’ve always just done what God has put in my heart as far as writing songs. What I’ve found is that it’s reaching people no matter what their faith is. It’s not coming across to people as preachy, it’s coming across as real.”

“My faith and my family are the most important things with me,” he adds.

Fittingly, “Better Man” is a song that Jessta wrote about his relationship with his father as well as the relationship he’ll have with his own children as they grow up. “It’s about the values I want to instill in them,” he says.

He calls songs such as “Better Man” and “Time To Get Right,” “a window into my soul, who I am as a person.”

“If That Ain’t Country Song,” explains just who Jessta is. “It tells my story. Everyone told me ‘you can’t do that’,” he says of his vision to blend genres, “but it actually pushed me more. I don’t have to do what everyone else says.”

“Rock ‘n’ Roll Angel’,” which features country up-and-comer Dana King, is a tribute to Jessta’s wife and her dedication to his career. “A lot of people don’t think about the people at home who make this happen,” he says.

With a groundbreaking new album in his back pocket, Jessta is ready to share his music with the masses in a big way. “The live show is where the rubber meets the road,” says Jessta. “It’s where I connect with my fans. I want them to say, ‘that was worth going to see. I’m going to tell everyone I can about it.'"

“I’ve been given a gift to relate to a lot of people from a wide variety of backgrounds,” Jessta concludes. “I’m making music for everybody. Whether you’re 4-years-old or 84- years-old, you’re gonna love the music."
